G&L USA CLF Research Doheny V12 Electric Guitar in Old School Tobacco Sunburst

G&L's CLF Research Doheny V12 guitar digs even deeper into the rapid pace of technical development that was the hallmark of Leo Fender's CLFR years, with particular focus on his late '70s to early '80s development of MFD guitar humbuckers. Trust us, this is probably the most powerful-sounding electric guitar that G&L currently has to offer!

Aside from its punchy pickup pairing, the Doheny V12 also sports G&L's flexible PTB Tone System (passive treble and bass controls), as well as mini toggle switches that allow you to put each humbucker into series, parallel or single-coil modes — incredible versatility! The silky-smooth Dual-Fulcrum vibrato is another noteworthy appointment, as well as the sustain-boosting forged brass saddles and tremolo block. A hardshell case is included.

Key Features

• Okoume Body — A popular tonewood often likened to Mahogany for its warm and sustain-rich sound; giving the Doheny some extra sonic depth.
• Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
• 'Modern Classic' Neck Profile — A fairly slim shape with a mild taper from 0.820" at 1st fret to 0.870" at the 12th fret. Enhanced with a slippery satin finish for fast playability.
• Medium Jumbo Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
• CLF Research MFD Humbuckers — Powerful, dual-coil versions of the acclaimed MFD pickup designed by Leo Fender! Series/parallel/single mini toggles allow you to experiment with a host of different timbres.
• PTB Tone System — Gives you two master tone controls, one that decreases the treble like a typical tone knob, and one that decreases the low-end. It's like having a built-in, passive 2-band EQ!
• Dual-Fulcrum Tremolo — Another Leo Fender innovation! This two-pivot, low-friction design provides a smooth and "silky" feel that allows you to bend notes up as well as down. The hardened steel bridge plate pivots on knife-edge bolts which are set into massive brass inserts anchored into the body; yielding brilliant sustain and resonance.
• Deluxe Tolex Hardshell Case — Included is a sturdy case that's guaranteed to keep the G&L CLF Research Doheny V12 safe in most conditions.
